Christianity The 10 commandments are :

1. I am the LORD your God, which have brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

3. Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

5. Honor thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God gives thee.

6.Thou shalt not kill.

7. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

8. Thou shalt not steal.

9.hou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s.

Confucianism


 * The Master said, "I have been the whole day without eating, and the whole night without

sleeping — occupied with thinking. It was of no use. The better plan is to learn." (Analects

XV. 30. tr. Legge): On Spirits-“Zilu (an impetuous disciple of Confucius) asked how one should

serve ghosts and spirits. The Master said, "Til you have learnt to serve men, how can you serve

ghosts?" Zilu then ventured upon a question about the dead. The Master said, "Till you know

about the living, how are you to know about the dead?" (Analects XI. 11. tr. Waley) -"Show

respect to the spirits and deities, then keep away from them." (Confucius is said to have

refused to discuss the subject of magic, devils, hell, and Heaven). -“The Master said, "For a

man to sacrifice to a spirit which does not belong to him is flattery." (Analects II. 24.)

Muslims


 * The only reward of those who make war upon Allah and His messenger and strive after corruption

in the land will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet on

alternate sides cut off, or will be expelled out of the land....(Quran; Surah 5:33): ...beware

of them lest they seduce you from some part of that which Allah has revealed to you. And if

they turn away know that Allah's will is to sm te them...(Quran; Surah 5:49) “
